[Intro]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh


[Chorus]

Every scar has its story to share

It hides the reason for all my tears

The reason to fall, the reason to break

Gotta jump outta my skin to be fake

To tame the pain that pushes me to the edge

And makes me take one step to death


[Pre-Chorus]

It's not okay to smile when you're hurt

You've got someone who cares about you

All your problems will never be absurd

There's always someone willing to save you

From falling into the abyss


[Chorus]

Scars are like poison

They can wound you like a gun

Keepin' the memories that kill you slowly

Makin' you feel depressed and lonely

Scars are like poison

They make you feel like you're in prison

Whispers terrorize you every time

You wanna run away and send a sign


[Post-Chorus]

Scars are like poison (it kills you inside, oh, oh, oh)

Every scar has its story (it makes you cry, yeah, yeah)


[Verse 2]

Every cut has its story to share

It hides the pain you can barely bear

You're drowning, you're losing breath

No longer resist the fact you're close to death

No longer damage your vocal cord callin' out friends

'Cause you're sure nothing can help you make amends


[Pre-Chorus]

It's not okay to say you're used to pain

It's not okay to withdraw and burn from shame

For those who won't tell you to get off and leave

Who would sacrifice anything to make you believe

You ain't alone in this cruel world


[Chorus]

Scars are like poison

They can wound you like a gun

Keepin' the memories that kill you slowly

Makin' you feel depressed and lonely

Scars are like poison

They make you feel like you're in prison

Whispers terrorize you every time

You wanna run away and send a sign


[Bridge]

The scars you're hiding under your clothes

The agony that is skinning you alive

Follow the voice before you turn to bones

Reach the light before the devil arises

You're dead inside, you're blue and cold

You're weak, you feel like you're choking


[Breakdown]

But you're still strong to breathe and stand

You're never weak to run and grab my hand


[Chorus]

Scars are like poison (it's your poison)

They can wound you like a gun

Keepin' the memories that kill you slowly

Makin' you feel depressed and lonely

Scars are like poison (they skin you alive)

They make you feel like you're in prison

Whispers terrorize you every time

You wanna run away and send a sign


[Outro]

Follow the voice before you turn to bones

Reach the light before the devil arises
